The county of York, Pennsylvania, has selected the Tel Aviv-based Alvarion company to provide its BreezeACCESS VL system network to connect about 40 county schools and other municipal organizations.
Currently, the county depends on a T1-based Internet based network, but Alvarion’s technology - high capacity OFDM solution for the 5GHZ frequency bands - will provide Internet services at higher speeds than current leased lines and at a much lower overall cost. So far, the connected institutions have noted a 50% savings in connectivity expenses and county agencies estimate that they will save more than $200,000 per year, expected to greatly increase in the near future. Leveraging the near-fiber capacity benefits of the new BreezeACCESS VL system, York County's wireless network will provide each school with up to 10 Megabits per second (Mbps) of connectivity.
There are plans to extend broadband connections to non-profit organizations, libraries and government offices - eventually covering more than 80 buildings throughout the area - Alvarion reports.
Alvarion is the global leader in wireless broadband, providing solutions to telecom carriers, other service providers, and private network operators with over 1.5 million units deployed in 120 countries worldwide.
